I am really digging this little experimental motion piece titled, ‘Metempsychosis’ from motionographer Alain Lores. I would love to see something like this utilizing typography. You can see more of Alain’s work here.

“For the first time in HD on Christmas 2009: … _grau is a personal reflection on memories coming up during a car accident, where past events emerge, fuse, erode and finally vanish ethereally … various real sources where distorted, filtered and fitted into a sculptural structure to create not a plain abstract, but a very private snapshot of a whole life within its last seconds …

Media critic Matt Hanson, author of The End of Celluloid and founder of onedotzero festival says: “_grau appeals to me because it is organo-tech. it does not deliberately ape the abstract pioneers of abstract cinema, and it is worlds away from the motion graphic masturbation of many of those enamoured by digital animation. seidel’s work is impressionistic, melding biological and emotional currents. out of amorphous shapes we make out bones, heads, a hand. a spirit leaving the body. at least, this is what i sense out of the chaos of galactic reconfigurations, neurological connections, and biological forms. this is a powerful piece of digital animation precisely because it does not feel like such, it feels emotional, epic. and once you release the background to the animation–communicating a ‘coming to terms’ with the aftermath of a car accident–you realise why. ”

Malice in Wonderland is the work of experimental animator Vince Collins. The short film was made in 1983 but it without a doubt one of the most trippy animation sequences ever released to the public. Don’t play this one if you have your boss looking over your shoulder. If you are into psychedelic art, prepare for some serious mind-blowing inspiration.

This is the latest video for Major Lazer’s new single ‘Keep It Goin’ Louder’.

Here is a little extra background I received about the making of the video:
“Jason Miller directed the live action out in the states and sent across all the raw footage, Ferry, who has done all the illustration so far for Major Lazer got in touch, and together we completed the animation at Trunk. The look of the video was inspired by those washed out horror movies you used to sit and watch time and time again on VHS, so the footage and animation were composited with this in mind, and then de-saturated in the grade.”
